With no warning whatsoever, FromSoftware has announced a major update for its hit RPG, Elden Ring. Taking to Twitter/X just moments ago, Patch 1.16.2 will arrive following a period of service maintenance that begins at 00:00 PDT | 09:00 CET | 16:00 JST for a duration of 3 hours.
Released back in 2022, Elden Ring has cemented itself as one of the greatest and most influential video games of all time, and is considered by many to be FromSoftware's magnum opus, so it is perhaps no wonder that major updates, a DLC, and crossovers have been launched over the past four years. However, it is also hard to believe that Elden Ring is still yet to celebrate its fifth anniversary, showing just how much content players have received since its launch.
Now Patch 1.16.2 is finally here, which includes "fixes for stability issues that could cause freezing, unexpected termination, or rendering anomalies under certain environments." With FromSoftware thanking fans for their "enduring patience", it appears that this update will be a perfect quality-of-life improvement.
No, it does not include any new content, but there is nothing worse than having to deal with bugs and stability issues when playing...
